Case Study: Coeur D’Alene School District achieves major energy savings with Faronics Power Save

Coeur D’Alene District Strengthens Their PC Power Management Policy With Faronics Power Save

Coeur D’Alene School District faced a challenge with significant energy waste and high costs because staff and students frequently left classroom computers and monitors powered on overnight. The district's maintenance and technology directors sought a solution that would not rely on user action to manage computer power. They turned to vendor Faronics and its Power Save software to address this problem.

Faronics implemented its Power Save solution to automatically power down inactive computers and monitors across the district's network. This provided centralized control and generated detailed energy savings reports. The results were immediate, with the district saving approximately $100,000 in annual electricity costs and an expected $300,000 over three years. The software's cost was completely offset by utility rebates, making the return on investment instant for Coeur D’Alene School District.
